Transfusion science

No items found.

This sheet explores the ABO and Rh blood groups, the antigens and antibodies associated, the process for blood typing, and how anomalies can be identified and explained. It considers the varying need for blood components in various patient transfusion scenarios, in parallel with the understanding and interpretation of screening for the detection of unexpected antibodies and identification of clinically significant antibodies.

Learning outcomes

  • Interpret ABO and Rh blood group systems and identify common blood group abnomalies.
  • Apply knowledge of the preparation, storage, use, and compatibility testing of blood components.
  • Demonstrate the ability to interpret antibody panel results.
  • Evaluate the clinical significance of different red cell alloantibodies.
  • Apply critical thinking and decision-making skills in a transfusion scenario context.

"The great thing about Smart Worksheets is that they tell you at every point whether you’ve got it right or wrong, what might be wrong and how you might go about changing it. The students found that really valuable. In their exam, we found that the average mark in the maths questions rose from 59% to 79%, which made a really big difference to the student outcome.”
